BREAKING NEWS: Tacoma teacher shot, killed at elementary school

KOMO 4 News is reporting that a Birney Elementary School teacher in Tacoma, Wash. has been shot and killed in what appears to be a domestic-violence-related incident.

The teacher, a woman whose name has not been released, was killed before students began arriving for school.

According to the news reports, the gunman was pursued by Pierce County Sheriff's deputies who tracked him down and then shot and killed him.

Pierce County has seen more than its share of violent deaths at the hands of gun-toting murderers in the past few months. Four Lakewood police officers were shot to death at a coffee shop in late November. Maurice Clemmons, the assailant in that case, was himself shot to death by a Seattle police officer two days after that incident.
